It’s no secret that Nick Crane has always been the hardest character for me to write. In fact, His Heart was the hardest book I’ve ever written.

In fact, Nick is a classic scenario of not listening to your characters as a writer. Fighting them. Trying to write them as what they aren’t. Read on to learn all about Nick.
